General conditions of eligibility for Construction Training Fund grants and subsidies

Eligibility for Construction Training Fund Direct Indenture Grants, Supplementary Skills/OH&S Program subsidies and additional benefits is dependent on an individual’s or company’s ability to demonstrate primary and substantial direct involvement in Western Australia’s construction industry, specifically in on-site construction, installation and fabrication activity.

Eligible individuals must be:
• Directly employed in the building and construction industry in Western Australia
• Directly employed by residential construction companies or construction companies undertaking relevant projects in Western Australia
• Self-employed and undertaking work which is directly involved in the construction process

Where eligibility of an applicant is in question the Training Fund will seek evidence of eligibility via review of a detailed, recent work history and/or evidence of employment.

Unemployed participants
If an individual is unemployed at the time of undertaking a short course recognised by the Training Fund, they must be able to:
• Demonstrate that they were directly employed in the construction industry in Western Australia for a minimum of six months, within 12 months prior to the date of course commencement;Or if no recent work experience is involved:
• Have written evidence of a relevant employment offer from an eligible company or contractor in the construction industry prior to commencement of the training course
Unemployed participants may be required to provide additional documentation to assist the Training Fund to process a claim.

Other
Although the definition of construction refers to ‘on-site’ activities, under certain conditions subsidies may also be provided to workers whose normal duties may not always require them to attend site on a daily basis. Service providers to the building and construction industry may be eligible for subsidised training in occupational health and safety.

The final determination regarding eligibility rests with the Training Fund.

Further information about the Construction Training Fund and its programs can be made available through the following contacts:

Please note that from the 1 January 2015 as per the initiative by the Australian Government Department of Industry, it will be a compulsory legal requirement for all VET students who undertake nationally recognised training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).

The USI is a randomly-generated alpha-numeric code allocated at no cost to an individual student who enters the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. Once allocated the USI will stay with the student for life and be used to record any nationally recognised VET training undertaken by the student.

In effect, as of 1 January 2015 RTO’s will not be permitted to issue certificates to students who do not hold a USI.

Therefore, Daysafe Training recommends that all students apply for their USI prior to enrolling in training from 1 January 2015. We can offer assistance in creating your USI during the enrolment process, however this will cause delays.

The process for creating a student USI takes about 5 minutes, and can be done online using this button.

If you have organised or completed training with us please take the relevant feedback survey below. Your feedback plays an important role in developing the quality of our training and education services and will only take approximately 2 minutes to complete......Thanks in advance!

STUDENTS: If you have completed any training with us please tell us about your experience.

Recognition of Previous Qualifications or Experience

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL is the acknowledgement of a full range of an individual’s skills and knowledge, irrespective of how it has been acquired. It includes competencies gained through formal study, work experience and other ‘life’ experience. Daysafe Pty Ltd will ensure that an individual’s prior learning is recognised.

Participants who believe they have skills and knowledge that would be covered in the training programs offered by Daysafe Pty Ltd should apply at time of enrolment to have their skills and knowledge assessed and where appropriate have the training program reduced. Participants can also make an application for Recognition of Prior Learning at any time during the training program.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING: Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process used by RTOs to evaluate a person's skills, knowledge and experience gained through working and learning, in Australia or overseas, be it through life experience, work or other activities such as volunteering.

CREDIT TRANSFER: Daysafe Pty Ltd recognises qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other RTOs for like competencies. Students seeking credit transfer for AQF qualifications and/or statements of attainments must present the original documents for verification.

Daysafe Pty Ltd will comply with all laws relevant to the operation of the training / workplace premises including occupational health and safety and fire safety regulations and ensure that the training / workplace premises are of adequate size and have adequate heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation.

For onsite training, it will be the responsibility of the client to ensure the venue complies with the same requirements.

Daysafe Pty Ltd will implement fair educational programs, maximise the participation of students and will provide a culturally inclusive environment. It will assist students to access support and guidance services that cannot be offered internally.

Daysafe Pty Ltd recognises its legal responsibility to take all reasonable steps to ensure that staff and students are not subject to sexual harassment. Daysafe Pty Ltd is firmly committed to providing a working, teaching and learning environment that is free from racism. Racism not only denies a person’s fundamental human right to respect, it reduces their opportunity to gain a fair share of society’s valued resources such as education and employment.

It is the responsibility of all Daysafe Pty Ltd staff to ensure the requirements of the access and equity policy are met at all times

More details can be found in the Daysafe Policy & Procedure – Access & Equity.

Students requiring assistance with their training should contact their trainer in the first instance. Daysafe Pty Ltd is committed to meeting the needs of all students. If support cannot be provided internally, appropriate external referrals will be suggested.

It is strongly recommended that prior to enrolling in a course, you take the Online Language, Literacy and Numeracy Indicator Test to evaluate your skills in:

Reading,

Writing,

Learning,

Oral Communication, and

Numeracy.

These are the 5 core skills that make up the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). These skills have been identified as the basic skills that a person needs in the community, classroom and workplace.

By taking this test, we will be better prepared to help you should the test determine any LLN issues.

Please contact our office, after enrolling in one of our courses, to get the link to our online LLN Test.

Daysafe Pty Ltd is subject to a variety of legislation related to training and assessment as well as general business practice. This legislation governs our obligations as a Registered Training Organisation, our obligations to you as our clients, and relates to the industry that we are conducting training for.

Daysafe Pty Ltd is committed to maintaining and safeguarding the accuracy, integrity and currency of our records without jeopardising the confidentiality of the records or our student’s privacy. Individual Student records will be stored in a locked secure office area. Our electronic records are stored in our RTO Management System and are protected by password access. Our software and hardcopy systems will retain Student results for a period of not less than 30 years.

In the event that we cease to operate as an RTO we will transfer all records to ASQA in appropriate format and detail as specified by the regulatory body at the time of ceasing RTO operations.

We are required to submit statistical data (AVETMISS) on our students in the future using the features inside our RTO Management System software program.

More details can be found in the Daysafe Policy & Procedure – Records Management – Student Records.

Daysafe Pty Ltd takes the privacy of our clients and students very seriously and we will comply with all legislative requirements. Your enrolment form provides for students to give permission for us to discuss the students’ progress with their employer

In some cases we will be required by law or required by the AQTF 2007 standards to make student information available to others. In all other cases we ensure that we will seek the written permission of the student.

More details can be found in the Daysafe Policy & Procedure – Records Management – Student Records.

Daysafe Pty Ltd attempts to provide training and assessment services in a spirit of co-operation and mutual respect. Inappropriate behaviours will not be tolerated; if a trainer or staff member is unhappy or dissatisfied with the behaviour or performance of a student the trainer has the authority to:

Warn the student that their behaviour is unsuitable, or

Ask a student to leave the class, without refund or acceptance into another course, or

Immediately cancel the class.

If a student wishes to express a complaint in relation to the disciplinary action taken, they have the opportunity to follow our complaints procedure.

Plagiarism is the presentation, without any form of acknowledgment, the ideas or words of another writer as if they were your own. This is more than just another form of cheating. It is literary theft. It is stealing someone else's work. As a student you will be expected to pay scrupulous attention to acknowledging where your ideas for your work came from.

Must have current industry experience and formal qualifications (tickets) for any Unit you will be delivering.

Preferably have at least 5 years operational experience in the industry you specialise in.

We are a small RTO but we have very high ethical standards. Trainer Assessors who wish to have an affiliation with us must meet or exceed these standards. We aim to ensure all candidates being assessed are fully competent before being deemed so and issued with a national accreditation (Statement of Attainment).....

We do not sell tickets!!!...........No cowboys!

We need good reliable Trainer Assessors ***AUSTRALIA WIDE***
